This will be the first time both men have left the country, meaning that they needed to get passports to attend.

Before they depart there is also the added bonus of a warm-up match against Bradford City football club.

However, they do have to pay for their own flights and equipment for the trip and so the players are asking for help sponsoring their trip.

Sponsorship can help towards paying for their flights or can just be a new pair of shin pads, but they added that any help they receive would be greatly appreciated.

If you can help call (01947) 603367.

Whitby Leisure Centre’s Sunday Club takes place between 6pm and 7pm in the sports hall and pool and activities include football, badminton and aerobics. There is also a community room for cards, dominoes and darts. Entry costs £2.80 per person, carers free.
